Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatarina Stuart is a Research Fellow with eight years' experience investigating evolutionary genomics and the proximate mechanisms that enable rapid local adaptation, particularly in invasive species. She combines field ecology with genomics, bioinformatics, and ecological statistics to reveal how understudied genomic components—like structural variation and transposable elements—shape adaptive potential. Her work has practical applications across pest control, conservation, and predicting organismal responses to climate change. Having held research and teaching roles at UNSW and the University of Auckland and now at Macquarie University Applied BioSciences, she brings both hands-on lab and supervisory experience. Prior to academia she managed large national field operations, giving her uncommon operational and team-management skills for coordinating complex, multi-site studies. Based in Sydney, she is known for integrating holistic genomic perspectives with real-world invasive species questions to uncover rapid evolutionary dynamics.
